Although a few days late… Better late than never?! I thought it was about time to fess up to a month of very little reading. I have an excuse at the ready though. April started off with an absolutely brilliant read. (More on that in a paragraph’s time.) After just a few days into April, […]

If I thought the first two months of 2019 were good reading months, then March was pretty fab. So I am still blabbing on about reading 52 books this year and while, shock, I’m still behind, I’m feeling okay about it. Especially since I’ve been reading books I’ve adored. So if you want to check […]

At the start of the year I read Normal People by Sally Rooney; you know the book that was dominating every high street bookshop window for a good couple of months? It was picked for my work’s book club and I was so down for it. It looked right up my street and I’d seen […]

This year is the year I’m going to complete my challenge to read 52 books… Maybe. I can’t even publish the round up blog post in the correct month and I’m at least two books behind schedule but, HEY, I’m trying. In January I read 3 books, as did I in February. At the very […]

Sometime last year I shared a mini book haul, showing the blog three books I predicted I’d rate five stars on my Goodreads account. One I predicted correctly, one incorrectly and one I haven’t even read yet. Despite this, I thought I’d give it another go as I’ve recently bought so many books my bedroom […]

After setting myself the challenge to read 52 books this year (despite failing this very challenge last year), I thought I’d, once a month (normally at the end of the month but my blog went kaput for a while there), write up a round up of all of the books I’ve finished. In January I […]

As much as I’m the kind of reader who aims to finish a book with it looking as close to bookshop-shelf worthy as possible, I totally get why people like books to look as “loved” as possible. (Although I will NEVER understand why people bend their covers back *shudders*.) I love a dip into a […]

If I throw us all back to the very first day of 2018, I posted my resolutions for the year just as the hangover began to lift and that New Year buzz really start to sink in. I think I did pretty well to keep to my goals but would say I have room to […]

So about that reading challenge I set myself on the first of January. The one where I said I’d read 52 books this year and, subsequently, review them on the blog. I won’t be making any excuses (my mum passed the 52 mark a couple of months ago) but I will try my best to […]

Before I headed off on holiday just over a week ago, I tortured my heart by reading a Dani Atkins book. My mum had read While I Was Sleeping a couple of weeks before and she wanted to speak about it with someone so badly she bought me my very own copy. I have since […]
